 And we currently don't have an attach type for NETLINK BPF link.
 Thankfully it's not too late to add it. I see that link_create() in
 kernel/bpf/syscall.c just bypasses attach_type check. We shouldn't
 have done that. Instead we need to add BPF_NETLINK attach type to enum
 bpf_attach_type. And wire all that properly throughout the kernel and
 libbpf itself.

This adds BPF_NETFILTER and uses it.  This breaks uabi but this
wasn't in any non-rc release yet, so it should be fine.

v2: check link_attack prog type in link_create too

Improve bpf_map__reuse_fd() logic and ensure that dup'ed map FD is
"good" (&gt;= 3) and has O_CLOEXEC flags. Use fcntl(F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC) for
that, similarly to ensure_good_fd() helper we already use in low-level
APIs that work with bpf() syscall.

<title>libbpf: Ensure libbpf always opens files with O_CLOEXEC</title>

Make sure that libbpf code always gets FD with O_CLOEXEC flag set,
regardless if file is open through open() or fopen(). For the latter
this means to add "e" to mode string, which is supported since pretty
ancient glibc v2.7.

Also drop the outdated TODO comment in usdt.c, which was already completed.

<title>libbpf: Add capability for resizing datasec maps</title>

This patch updates bpf_map__set_value_size() so that if the given map is
memory mapped, it will attempt to resize the mapped region. Initial
contents of the mapped region are preserved. BTF is not required, but
after the mapping is resized an attempt is made to adjust the associated
BTF information if the following criteria is met:
 - BTF info is present
 - the map is a datasec
 - the final variable in the datasec is an array

... the resulting BTF info will be updated so that the final array
variable is associated with a new BTF array type sized to cover the
requested size.

Note that the initial resizing of the memory mapped region can succeed
while the subsequent BTF adjustment can fail. In this case, BTF info is
dropped from the map by clearing the key and value type.

'bpftool net' only dumps netfilter link type, links are sorted by protocol

Currently, libbpf leaves `call #0` instruction for __weak unresolved
kfuncs, which might lead to a confusing verifier log situations, where
invalid `call #0` will be treated as successfully validated.

We can do better. Libbpf already has an established mechanism of
poisoning instructions that failed some form of resolution (e.g., CO-RE
relocation and BPF map set to not be auto-created). Libbpf doesn't fail
them outright to allow users to guard them through other means, and as
long as BPF verifier can prove that such poisoned instructions cannot be
ever reached, this doesn't consistute an invalid BPF program. If user
didn't guard such code, libbpf will extract few pieces of information to
tie such poisoned instructions back to additional information about what
entitity wasn't resolved (e.g., BPF map name, or CO-RE relocation
information).

__weak unresolved kfuncs fit this model well, so this patch extends
libbpf with poisioning and log fixup logic for kfunc calls.

Note, this poisoning is done only for kfunc *calls*, not kfunc address
resolution (ldimm64 instructions). The former cannot be ever valid, if
reached, so it's safe to poison them. The latter is a valid mechanism to
check if __weak kfunc ksym was resolved, and do necessary guarding and
work arounds based on this result, supported in most recent kernels. As
such, libbpf keeps such ldimm64 instructions as loading zero, never
poisoning them.

Currently libbpf always reports "kernel" as a source of ksym BTF type,
which is ambiguous given ksym's BTF can come from either vmlinux or
kernel module BTFs. Make this explicit and log module name, if used BTF
is from kernel module.
